The Cabinet of Ministers promises we won’t freeze in winter


Ukraine will not freeze in the winter even in case a new gas contract is not made with Russia by the end of the year.

This was stated in an interview to Glavcom

by government representative for European integration Valeriy Piatnytskiy, reports NewsOboz.org.

“I don’t think we will freeze – the unprecedented economy measures to decrease consumption are proving to be effective. We can complain we have no hot water left but in light of Luhansk having no electricity, water and garbage disposal, we are in absolutely ideal conditions. This is our small downpayment made to reinforce independence. Yes, it will be an energy-saving regime, but we have to go through it at some point – after the peak phase of the crisis, remission and recovery follow,” said he.

According to him, Ukraine’s opportunity to become independent from Russian gas depends on the reverse power, the change of consumption structure.

“We have to find replacements. The Japanese offered us a big project with lots of financing – raising efficiency of using generated power from coal. It is calculated that after the implementation of these new propositions, gas consumption may be lowered by 10%. The perspective of shale gas is yet another step. Lithuania ordered a special liquified gas vessel about five years ago, which will be moor in a Lithuanian port in the fall and they will receive liquified gas. What is more, the power of this processing will be several times higher than their internal needs, and they will supply their neighbors in Latvia and Estonia,” noted Piatnytskiy.

This was stated by Poland's ex-president, Lech Walensa in an interview for TVN24. "If Russia will risk to attack Poland and other countries, then it will collapse. I see that which will happen with Russia. Of course, a million, 10 million people will die, and it would be better if that did not happen," Walensa stared in creating the scenario of a possible future war. Walensa believes that "Russia is some 30-50 years behind both in the awareness as well as in the structure of organizing a state, and therefore they are utilizing methods that have long ago been laid to rest in the past." "Putin began a war with the whole developed world. He broke pacts, agreements, guarantees. The world cannot just simply leave it as is. If something similiar happens, the only thing left is force. How can one play here, how can one win, when he is boxing, and we are playing chess," he stated. Valensa believes that the Polish people "are in safety", belonging to the structures of NATO and EU, and not having in their country a substantial number of Russian minority, which, for example, the Baltic countries have.
